A few weeks ago we totally switched to MC for all media including TV recording. This was after using SageTV for a few years and using MC just for Audio.
I was concerned about WAF, and HAF too when I made the switch. After some initial difficulty getting TV going with our HDPVR the switch has been mostly a good experience for me. And it all keeps getting better with program improvements especially in the tagging area.
So last night as I was going to bed I decided to ask my wife how she feels about using MC exclusively. At the time she was setting up some TV movie recording in Theater View. Thought it might be a good time to ask, but I was a little nervous about the answer. She replied that she is very happy with MC, in fact is preferring it over Sage. Whew, that was a big relief! And a very pleasant surprise. We both agree that there are some kinks to work out, improvements to be made, and that we especially miss Comskip. I will soon be making a post on these issues.
My wife is not the least bit technical so things have to work well and easily for her to be happy. Otherwise she calls 'Tech Support' (guess who?). This still does happen occasionally but less frequently as time goes on.
The bottom line is that there is certainly no thought with either of us going back to SageTV. We know that MC is constantly improving and is well supported, as opposed to Sage which is basically dead.
